This is a set of common lisp bindings to libnotify. It intentionally doesn't support some of the more Gtk-oriented operations, such as setting icons via pixbuf or popping up notifications on widgets. This means the lisp project doesn't depend on a CL Gtk/Glib/G* binding and not only loads faster, but is agnostic in the horde of them currently on offer. On the other hand, it does support basic operations and only depends on CFFI on the lisp side (note, you'll still need libnotify installed!). TODO: Allow callbacks. It's not clear whether one can do this without pulling in Gtk proper. So the lean-and-mean approach may yet go out of the window.
